changing CorrectAnswer

[Michiel Spape]

Hi,

1.       I assume your CorrectAnswer is an attribute, yes? Why don't you just change that then? That way, logging will also be more consistent...

2.       No need for { }: (unless you use {SPACE} or something)

 

If c.GetAttrib ("Handedness") <> "left" then

                If stim1.CResp = "/" then stim1.Cresp = "x"  'plethora of other ways of writing this, I just like this one best

                If stim1.Cresp = "." Then stim1.Cresp = "."

End if

 

Or even, assuming it's a 2 response force choice task:

If c.GetAttrib ("Handedness") <> "left" then

                If c.GetAttrib("CorrectAnswer") = "/" then c.SetAttrib "CorrectAnswer", "x"  else c.SetAttrib "CorrectAnswer, "."                                 

End if

 

Cheers,

Mich

Hi There!

I want to change the CorrectAnswer if handedness is left
so i wrote this script:

if c.GetAttrib("handedness") <>"left" then
if stim1.Cresp ="{/}" then
stim1.Cresp ="x"
elseif stim1.Cresp ="{.}" then
stim1.Cresp ="z"
end if
end if


It doesn't change the CorrectAnswer so what's wrong with this
script?

Thanks
ELi Koren
